Match the following parts of the body with their functions:
Spleen = Filters blood and fights infections Bone marrow = Produces white blood cells Belly = Location of the spleen Bones = Contain bone marrow
Match the following actions with their impact on preventing microbes:
Washing hands frequently = Best way to prevent microbes Eating healthy foods = Keeps immune system strong Exercise = Keeps immune system strong Seeing the doctor for checkups = Helps maintain overall health
Match the following statements with their correct information about getting sick:
Avoiding all microbes is impossible = Fact about microbial exposure Immune systems fight microbes = Role of immune systems Touching new surfaces can spread microbes = Risk associated with touching surfaces Staying home when sick prevents spread of bacteria or viruses = Preventive measure to protect others
Match the following healthy habits with their benefits for the immune system:
Eating healthy foods = Strengthens immune system Getting exercise = Strengthens immune system Sleeping enough = Strengthens immune system Seeing the doctor for checkups = Ensures overall health maintenance
Match the following diseases with their effect on the body:
Epilepsy = Causes seizures due to brain activity Asthma = Causes breathing difficulties and flare-ups Stroke = Can have severe consequences if not treated quickly Infections = Can be fought by white blood cells in the body
Match the following types of microbes with their descriptions:
Bacteria = Microorganisms that can cause diseases and illnesses Fungi = Microorganisms that live in water, soil, and air Viruses = Microorganisms that are responsible for cold symptoms like coughs and runny noses Algae = Microorganisms that are one of the main groups of microbes
Match the following parts of the body with their roles in the immune system:
Skin = First line of defence against microbes Mucous = Barrier that prevents microbes from entering the body White blood cells = Fight against invading microbes in the second line of defence Lymphocytes = Remember and recognize previous invading microbes
Match the following immune system terminologies with their functions:
Phagocytes = Chew up invading microbes Lymphocytes = Help body remember and recognize previous invaders First line of defence = Skin and mucous barrier Second line of defence = Activation when microbes enter the body
Match the following actions with their impact on preventing infections:
Keeping cuts clean = Preventing microbes from entering through skin Avoiding touching nose, ears, and mouth with fingers = Preventing microbes from entering through mucous membranes Activating second line of defence with white blood cells = Fighting against invading microbes Maintaining good hygiene practices = Overall protection against infections
Match the following statements about the immune system with their accuracy:
Skin is an effective barrier against microbes = Accurate statement about first line of defence White blood cells include phagocytes and lymphocytes = Accurate description of cells fighting against microbes Mucous in nose and throat helps prevent microbial entry = Accurate role in preventing infections Lymphocytes enable recognition of previous invaders by the body = Accurate function in immune response
Match the following immune system concepts with their importance in fighting infections:
First line of defence - Skin and mucous barriers = Preventing initial entry of microbes into the body White blood cells - Phagocytes and lymphocytes = Actively fighting against invading microbes Remembering previous invaders = Enhancing immune response efficiency over time Cleanliness and good hygiene practices = Overall support for immune system function
What is the primary function of the integumentary system?
The primary function of the integumentary system is to protect the body from the external environment.
How does the skin regulate the body's temperature?
The skin regulates body temperature through sweating and controlling blood vessel dilation.
Explain the role of sensory receptors in the integumentary system.
The sensory receptors in the skin allow us to sense pain, pressure, and temperature from our environment.
Why is the skin on the soles of the feet thicker than the skin on the eyelids?
The skin on the soles of the feet is thicker to provide more protection, as the feet are in constant contact with rough and hard surfaces.
How does the integumentary system help prevent infection?
The skin acts as a barrier to keep germs and harmful substances from entering the body and causing infection.
What is the average thickness of the skin around the body?
The average thickness of the skin around the body is 2 millimeters.

What is the primary job of the kidneys in the excretory system?
Remove waste from blood and produce urine
Which organ in the excretory system carries urine out of the body?
Urethra
What is the purpose of the ureters in the urinary system?
Carry urine from kidneys to the bladder
Test your knowledge on strokes - also known as 'brain attacks' - which occur when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to a lack of oxygen and potential brain cell damage. Explore the causes, effects, and importance of quick medical response in stroke situations.
